Hi,
I bought my acer S13 a few months ago and it has been making really loud fan noises ever since I got it. Whenever I run a program such as Indesign or a game, the laptop makes a really loud fan noise and seems to be heating up a lot.
What should I do?

FAQ & Answers
Hi,
If you have McAfee installed, disble it or uninstall it with it's uninstalling tool, it may have caused the the fan to work continuosly, you will be protected by Windows Defender, however, if you need a third party AV, try other alternatives found online.

My Aspire S13 got very serious fan noise before, and i come here just to share how i fixed it. Hope this can help you:D
Warning: My solution includes disassembly, don't follow me if you are not comfortable to do this yourself.
The loud noise in my case was caused by bad contact between the fan spinning part and the part to hold it. Adding oil to make the spinning smoother can significantly lower the noise. Here are the steps:
1. Disassemble the laptop till it looks like the first image. (Getting out a few screws can get this done)
2. Add some oil to the hole (you can see it in the second image) which holds the fan spinning part I think WD40 would be a good choice though i used baby oil simply because i didn't get WD40 then O:-)
3. Reassemble the laptop and it should help.
